Canelon keeps Cyclones within striking distance
Tosses Eight-Inning Gem as Brooklyn Climbs Within 2 ½ Games of S.I.
Kevin Canelon flirted with perfection before settling for the most dominant effort by any Brooklyn Cyclones pitcher this summer.
That’s saying something considering how strong the Baby Bums’ entire staff has been throughout the grueling short-season campaign.
“It was definitely the best performance of the season for our staff, which we’ve had a lot of good games this year,” Brooklyn pitching coach Dave LaRoche told MiLB.com shortly after Canelon tossed eight one-hit innings in the Cyclones’ much-needed 3-0 blanking at Hudson Valley Tuesday night in front of 5,199 fans at Dutchess Stadium.
